Development of railway cooperation with ROK, DPRK, and Russia
• The prospect of railway cooperation – ROK – Russia railway cooperation agreement (2001) – ROK – Russia Transportation Cooperation Committee (2001-02) – ROK-DPRK-Russia tripartite conference of the supreme representative (2004) – ROK-DPRK-Russia Railway Ministerial Meeting (2006)
• Since DPRK logistics demand in earlier stage is low, the project is focused on transit trade in DPRK territory.
• Cooperation of ROK, DPRK and Russia – Through modernizing the Rajin-Khasan railway and Rajin port, SEA&RAIL multimodal transport business from Busan to TSR should be initiate the future. Status of ROK - DPRK & Northeast Asia Transportation Plans

To develop distribution and logistics complexes by region Plans for Revision of the Key National Traffic Network Plan (2000 - 2019) Implementing Composite Traffic Network in Preparation for Expansion of ROK - DPRK Exchange
To restore and expand ROK - DPRK inland traffic network －Promoting restoration of Gyeongwon Line and Geumgangsan Line in addition to the already connected Gyeongeui Line and Donghae Line concurrently with the progress of economic cooperation between ROK and DPRK －Searching for ways to activate continental link with China and Russia and to link with key industrial regions and ports of DPRK in the mid to long term through a link with arterial networks in DPRK
To expand ROK - DPRK shipping routes and port facilities －Inter-Korean Maritime Agreement adopted in 2004, supplementary agreement effectuated in 2005 －Expanding regular lines according to activation of economic cooperation ․ Regular liners currently in operation in two routes (Incheon - Nampo and Busan - Najin). ․ Regular lines of Incheon - Nampo, Incheon - Haeju, Busan - Wonsan, Busan - Heungnam and Busan - Cheongjin - Najin to be opened －Promoting cooperative strategies to develop DPRKn ports for ROK - DPRK economic exchange and Northeast Asian economic integration
To expand ROK - DPRK air transport routes －As of 2006, approx. 88 one-way irregular transport flights are in operation in Seoul - Pyeongyang, Seoul - Wonsan and Seoul - Cheongjin sections. －In preparation for an increased exchange and economic cooperation between ROK and DPRK in the future, air routes will be expanded to include Seoul - Najin, Seoul - Mt. Baekdu, Seoul - Sineuiju and Seoul - Hamheung sections. Plans for Revision of the Key National Traffic Network Plan (2000 - 2019) Plan for implementation of a comprehensive traffic network in the Korean peninsula (long-term plan)
－ Railway networks ․ Building express railway to form an X-shaped trans-Korea express railway network and strengthening link with general railway ․ Double-tracking arterial railway centering on South - North axes and continuously promoting expansion of facilities for railway electrification in preparation for an increase of long-term traffic demand
－ Road networks ․ Restoring the disconnected national road lines (6) starting from ROK ․ Extending five of the seven South - North axes all the way to DPRK and integrating ROK - DPRK road networks in the long run by connecting the seven South - North axes and the six North Korean axes
－ Air ․ Concluding Inter-Korean Air Agreement, opening direct regular routes between key regions, such as Gimpo - Sunan, and gradually expanding the routes
－ Marine ․ Expanding coastal routes and facilities in ROK and DPRK RoadmapRoadmap ofof Inter-Korean Transportation forfor ROKROK--DPRKDPRK RailwayRailway

Realize one-day life zone in the Northeast Asia Vision based on NEA corridors (Integration and Community)
Operate the economic community of the Korean Peninsula Goal Secure global competitiveness of the Korean Peninsula Construct the basis for the Northeast Asia’s infrastructure network
1. Develop the action plan for DPRK infrastructure modernization Tasks 2. Strengthen correlation with major economic zones 3. Activate the network with TSR and TCR
23 Part 4 : Conclusion Conclusion
It is necessary
-To establish basic plans for logistics integration and development in the Korean peninsula
-To prepare a mid to long-term plan for ROK-NEA logistics system integration and development considering a link with the continent
-To conduct a joint survey on logistics status and demands in ROK and NEA
-To establish basic plans for ROK-DPRK logistics integration and development
- Increasing ROK-DPRK Logistics Cooperation through International Organization like UNESCAP Conclusion
To implement an international transport network in NEA region,
- Integrated link of the Northeast Asia infrastructures (hardware) - Northeast Asia transport operation agreement and a Northeast Asia transport cooperation consultative group (software) for integrated transport operation
As a way of organizing a Northeast Asia Transport cooperation consultative group using the existing international transport cooperation agencies, a currently feasible plan is to make use of the UNESCAP
As such, the plan to utilize UNESCAP enables - to implement the Northeast Asia Transportation pilot operation - to minimize financial burden - to build experiences of international trasportation operation at the same time ThankThank you.you.
